D. Summary Comments by Conference Participants
51. At the conclusion of the conference each of the
participants was asked to identify some major consideration
thought to be particularly significant for the Council in
developing its Statement and Recommendations. These
comments served to summarize the highlights of the preceding
discussion.
52. The Council would be well advised, one conferee pointed
out, to concentrate on the newer aspects of the problems
in womanpower. These arise from the fact that women are
marrying at younger ages and are, therefore, often prevented
from acquiring any training for employment. Although the
traditional "career girl" is vanishing, an increasing number
of women are acquiring some work experience during the early
years of marriage. Lack of training and/or limited work
experience, however, pose major problems in integrating these
women into the work force when they elect to return at some
later date, as an increasingly large number of them are doing.
This problem should be related to the manpower shortages
in several occupations which require extensive professional
training.
53. Other conferees stressed the importance of volunteer
work as a means of keeping the skills of women up to date
Zuxing the period of their withdrawal from the labor force.
